Santa flies into Village of Lewiston on Saturday

The annual
Lewiston Christmas Walk, hosted by the Niagara River Region Chamber of
Commerce, will take place in the Village of Lewiston on Saturday, Dec.
3, and Sunday, Dec. 4.

One of the
highlights of the Christmas Walk is the arrival of Santa by helicopter
(sponsored by Rainbow Air) on Saturday, Dec. 3 at 11:30 a.m. in Academy Park
(weather permitting).

The holiday
event has grown into a popular weekend the community and retailers look
forward to every year. Some of the activities include open
house receptions and special sales at village businesses. Send
your letters to Santa at the "North Pole mailbox," and take part in free horse
and carriage rides, a petting zoo on Saturday, visits with Santa and friends,
entertainment and more, all alongside the Tour of Homes (ticketed event).

The weekend
will also feature the new outdoor ice skating rink, which is opening on
Thursday, Dec. 1, also at Academy Park. Skating is free, and there is a nominal
charge for skate rental.
